This is a PSI Bottle Opener keyring in brass. The wood is burl that a friend gave me. The burl is from a locust tree, and is spectacular! The finish is Mylands and carnuba wax.

This is the only photo I have of the burl. Sure can't tell what's inside!

Lovely piece of timber, Jim.
I like how you dealt with it. ( Same goes for your other postings )
